{ScrappingClearly} Home Sweet Home

Hey there ScrappingClearly fans, Melinda here with you today sharing a page I made using this month's mood board as inspiration.

In case you haven't yet seen it, here it is

And here is my take on it

I have used the Kaiser Craft Oh La La collection for this and was really inspired by a chat I had had with my Mother In Law about quilting and came up with the idea of the triangles into the chevron design! 

I modernised the whole patchwork effect with a little mixed media - namely I grabbed the Cantaloupe Liquid Pearls Kylie sent me in my last kit, added that to a little packaging and then spritzed with water - viola! Watercolour in a beautiful orange-y/gold tone to go perfectly with the mood board! I also added in a few very subtle sprinkles of colour with the Art Anthology Colour Spray in Avocado.

Today being the 1st of the month gives you plenty of time to get your own entries in for both this challenge and the sketch challenge for April - though who can seriously believe it is April already?!

Head over here to the FB group for the challenge albums and to see what everyone else is busy working on!

I do have a process video for this page - if it doesn't load straight away, please come back and try again - I kinda got my dates mixed up for this project - oopsies!!

Anyways, I'll leave you with a couple of close ups and a product list, if you have any questions, please dont hesitate to ask!

Supply List:

Kaiser Craft Ooh La La Collection Pack - there are none left in stock BUT there is the 6 1/2 x 6 1/2" paper pad which would work perfectly as well

Kaiser Craft Ooh La La Bits and Pieces Pack

Cantaloupe Liquid Pearls

Art Anthology Colourations Colour Spray - Avocado

Thanks, as always for stopping by and happy scrapping! I hope April is a super productive scrappy month for you all!

Fab Friday and a Happy Birthday to Me!!

Well, hi there and welcome to another Fab Friday with Tiddly Inks!! 

Today I decided to use the gorgeous Wryn Eat Your Cake totally inspired by the fact that today is actually my birthday!! So, if you have cake close, do enjoy a piece for me!!

Enough about me and onto the fun stuff, my card!!

Another CAS card for me this week. I decided to take some inspiration from a few cards I've seen about the internet with the image cropped. I also zoomed so the gorgeous Wryn is the centre of attention. 

And of course a close up of my colouring!

The copic combos I used

Skin: E000, E00, E21, E11, E04 and R20

Hair: E21, YR23, E15 and E18

Dress and flowers: BG000, BG01, BG05 and BG09 Brown: E41, E43 and E44

Shading on cupcake: W1, W3 and W5 - I paper pieced this because I wasn't happy with my colouring but I love how it turned out!

Background: B000, B00, B01 and B02

I have used some scraps for the cupcake and used the same pink paper from the "icing" as a mat for the card front. 

I'm really pleased how this turned out, especially since this is my 1st attempt of doing paper piecing since I learnt it in my clothing class at Kit and Clowder!

I hope your having a fabulous day and thanks for stopping by!

Happy scrapping!

Mel
